Last night about 11:30 pm I started to get a horrible headache. As I laid in my warm, comfortable bed I was trying to convince my lazy bones to get up and take a Motrin. As I laid there for a few more minutes, I could not help but fantasize about the families in the villages of Guatemala that I visited or made eye contact with. My thoughts were all over the place; wondering if they were warm, dry, comfortable and healthy. What do they do if they do not feel well? What medicine do they take, if anything? How do they handle pain, without taking medication? Ugh! I was exhausted even more just by thinking about the families in Guatemala. Well, I finally walked to the medicine cabinet and took 2 Motrin. At the same time I swallowed the medication I began to pray about the families in the villages. I am so blessed to have been born and raised in the United States. Sure, I have had my share of heartache, struggles, and failures. However, I have not gone to bed hungry, cold where I could not get warm, in pain where medication did not help, and I have always had a roof over my head for protection. I am challenging myself, the next time I feel I am without that I will pray for those who really are...

You are so right. Sometimes it is hard to remember this. Thanks for the reminder
Hope your headache got better!!
Greta Jo, It's so true!! One our eyes are opened to the severe poverty in another country such as Guatemala we are FOREVER changed~~! We will NEVER see things the same again! I have found myself several times in the past few months bringing my children to the doctor or our visits/stays in the hospital and realize just how lucky I am to live here in the US! As I watched Olivia in pain while the doctors tried meds to help her on her past stay I would hold her when she slept and pray for those mothers who don't have the luxury of the hospital or medical care!
